Sam and Uncle Andrew having a little long-distance chat.
Apparently it was
hilarious
...
Mahna-Mahna!
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo.
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine who used to work for Disney posted a link on Facebook to a Muppets clip from 1970-something in celebration of the opening day of the new Muppets movie. I watched the clip and thought Sam might like it, too. I showed it to him one morning on my phone and he thought it was hilarious!
We've added Mahna-Mahna to our morning ritual now. Brian gets up and gets ready around 5:30. Sometime between then and around 7:30 or so, Sam shuffles into our room with Binkie, Blankie and Hop-Hop. I pull him up on the bed and we either go back to sleep for a couple hours, or lay there lazy for a while. Either way, we always watch a little Muppets on my phone before starting our day.
Want to take a little trip down Muppet Memory Lane? Here's the Mahna-Mahna clip:
Galleria Tree
That is one BIG tree.
Sam and Gram and I visited the Galleria yesterday to see the tree-mendous tree and watch the ice skaters. The tree was sooo big my camera couldn't fit it all in, so I pulled out my phone and was able to get some good shots! The first and last pictures show
almost
the whole tree! So much fun going to Galleria with Sam since I used to come here at Christmas when I was little, too! Next week we're heading out to Northpark for more Christmas-y window shopping. Let the holiday fun begin!
October Mosaic
iPhone pics from October. My big camera and I haven't been getting along lately so I tend to pick up my iPhone quite a bit more than I ever have before in the last year I've owned it. iPhone photos and their editing applications are much more forgiving of flaws and user error than regular cameras. In fact, goofy composition and blurriness are sometimes part of their charm. And since the camera is attached to my phone, I have it with me everywhere I go. It's been fun snapping these pics and trying different filters. I hope to make this a monthly post!
